Part of having mom and diddy here means inspiration flowing for home projects. Painting (finally), window treatments and even the thoughts on building me some cabinets with 60 inch drawer slides for my business supplies.
It’s fun talking about it and sharing it with not only Marcel but the people who gave me birth.
Today though, we travel. Next week too, with much fun, laughter and good times.
Enjoy the little things- as one day they will be the big things.
As I sit here with the doors open- the crispness of fall present, the sound of drizzling rain falling- I feel content. The past few months have been a whirlwind of one thing to another, with quite a few tragedy and sadness in the mix. It wasn’t without a blessing though, because it allowed me to consider a few things not only about myself, but also about others in my life.
I was reminded once again that in life there is no certainties and the importance of living in the now- and also in doing so, the importance of not holding on to anything that doesn’t serve you, including bad feelings- toxicity or anything that can hinder our potential in being our best selves.
I wrote a few letters- to a few people that I felt I didn’t have closure with. Not because I needed something from them- but because I needed to give myself the gift of knowing that there were things I needed to say- and wanted to do so while it was possible. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed and I prefer to live life without any regrets.
I am grateful- for the big and the small- and for the absolute amazing people in my life. We inspire each other, love and respect each other and that is a beautiful gift.
Wherever you are- if you have something that needs to be said- Don’t wait. Say I love you- mean it- Say I’m sorry- mean it. Tomorrow, or even two hours from now- may be too late.
A week from tomorrow, Marcel, myself and company will be taking a one week mini-break to a villa about two hours from where we live. To say I’m excited is the understatement of the year. Not only because I’ll be doing one of my favorite things- traveling, but because we’ll be doing it with my favorite people on the planet- my parents.
The villa is situated on a lake- with a private pier, so I have my fingers and toes crossed that the weather is perfect and will allow us to spend some evenings sitting outside watching the sun set.
After that- we have some other travel plans in the making- including a trip to Italy and Lake Como. We are VERY excited about that as well- and have rented an amazing apartment in the ‘Pearl of Como’- otherwise known as the town of Bellagio. There is also some talks of spending time in other areas as well, exploring and having one adventure after another.
I can’t wait- I’ll be sure to take notes to share later.
I was listening to some music that a friend of mine had posted the other day and followed a link that said click here for more. It took me to another site that was filled with his music from over the years- from the time we were in High School up until now- It was amazing and so inspiring to see how far his style has changed throughout the years- but it was beautiful to listen to.
Things like that always inspire me- in so many ways. What about you? What inspires you?
